Things In My Head 
Gotta wonder if O’Brien could see into the future.
Here’s another quote for you – one I just had reason to cite in a submission I made to a NSW parliamentary inquiry into mental health care.
“I spent 13 years at NIMH really pushing on the neuroscience and genetics of mental disorders, and when I look back on that I realize that while I think I succeeded at getting lots of really cool papers published by cool scientists at fairly large costs—I think $20 billion—I don’t think we moved the needle in reducing suicide, reducing hospitalizations, improving recovery for the tens of millions of people who have mental illness.” – Thomas Insel, former head of the US National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH).
